Saudi Arabia is open to possibly developing nuclear weapons, according to a New York Times report on US-Saudi political discussions. The report is drawing attention given long-standing concerns about nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and the implications for regional rivals like Iran, as well as the future of US-Saudi security cooperation.
Why now: A major newspaper report suggesting a key US ally may pursue nuclear weapons raises serious proliferation and regional security concerns.
